How To Use An Intrusion Rule On An Amcrest Camera (IP8M-2899EW-AI-V2)

Intrusion allows the camera to trigger an event if an object, such as a human or vehicle, appears or crosses a set intrusion area set by the user. A preset must be established before adding a IVS rule. For more information on how to setup the rule please refer to the information provided below. 

Step 1: Open a web user interface (Web UI) of your device and log in. For more information on how to access the web UI, click here.

Step 2: Access the main menu and click on AI. Click "Please add a preset first".

Note: If a preset is already established, click +Preset to add an additional preset. 

Step 4: Click Add Preset and use the PTZ directional arrows to set a PTZ preset if needed. Click the Apply icon to save the preset then click OK. 

Step 5: Click +Preset and select the created preset. Select IVS, then click Next. 

Step 6: Click IVS.

Step 7: Click Add Rule and select Intrusion from the dropdown menu. Use your mouse to draw a detection area on the interface. Please note, an option effective target filter can be set that will allow the rule only to trigger when a human or vehicle crosses the line.  

The rule can be set to trigger an event if an object appears or crosses the detection area. If Cross is selected, you can choose to trigger the rule if a object enters only, exits only, or both. 

Note: This camera also supports Auto Tracking. This will allow the camera to automatically track the object until it is no longer visible in the detection area. 

Step 8: Click Playback to retain events to a microSD card. This will allow you to view IVS events in the playback menu. Select any additional options, such as a siren, which will allow the camera to produce an audible siren, or email to send a notification of the event to an entered email address.
